Re: Cannot use dual boot in 20 GB HDD



> First Partition: Windows 2000 (10 GB)
> Second Partition: Linux (10GB)
> Third Partition: BeOS (10 GB)

well there is no such problem to my knolege...
tho, setting such large partitions for an OS is stupid...
an Os with everything+normal s/w wont take more than 4gigs...
u shud make storage spaces on the rest of the space...
like i do...
i have a 400mb prt for win98 + 2.0gig prt for linux... and the rest of my
space(6gigs fat32 so that even win can access it) im using as
backup/storage for apps...

however... linux has never stopped any1 from doing what they want and so
it shudnt stop u.
thos there are some rules...
on a disk... dont make more than 1 primary prt.
make that partition for say win.(10gb)
 on the other part of the disk.. make an extended partition and feed it
with logical drives..in ur case 2 of em.. one for linux anmd the other for
BeOs.. however dont forget to make ur swap space on the extended
partition... then install win first... and then install lilo on the MBR
for it to work properly.

keeping this in mind... happy partitioning...
